Ilumipod 7 IP Optic RGBW User Manual (Rev. 5)
Operation
The Ilumipod 7
IP Optic RGBW
must be linked
using DMX cable in a
daisy chain (serial)
fashion. To comply with
the EIA-485 standard, no
more than 32 products
should be connected on
one daisy chain without
using a DMX opticallyisolated splitter. Doing
otherwise may result in
deterioration of the digital
DMX signal.
USITT
recommends
limiting the total
length of the DMX cable
(from the first
product/controller to the
last product) to 300 ~ 455
m (985 ~ 1,500 ft).
Disconnect the
product from the
AC power before
opening it.
DMX Linking
You may link the Ilumipod 7 IP Optic RGBW to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX products compatible with the Ilumipod 7 IP Optic RGBW, you
can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX cables
needed to link the Ilumipod 7 IP Optic RGBW to a DMX controller, you may download the
“DMX Primer” document from the ILUMINARC® Web site at www.iluminarc.com.
DMX Modes
The Ilumipod 7 IP Optic RGBW uses the standard DMX data connection for its ARC2,
ARC2+D, and ARC FULL. Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of
these modes and the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Ilumipod 7 IP
Optic.The DMX Values section will give you detailed information regarding the abovementioned DMX modes.

Technical Information
5. Technical Information
Product Maintenance
Always dry the
external optics
and glass
surfaces carefully
after cleaning them.
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the products
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning
frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the products at least twice a month. Dust build up
reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light
source life.
For products containing external optical lenses, the user should clean them periodically to
optimize light output. The cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the product
operates. Damp, smoky, or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt
on the product’s optics.
To clean a product, follow the below recommendations:
· Unplug the product from power.
· Wait until the product has cooled.
If you still
experience
technical
problems after
trying the solutions in the
Troubleshooting Table,
contact ILUMINARC®
Technical Support.
· Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the
product.
· Clean all external glass optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
· Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the outside
of the lens.
· Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Product Repairs
ILUMINARC® strongly advises you against attempting any repairs to this product unless you
are an authorized ILUMINARC® technician.
ILUMINARC® presents the information contained in the Troubleshooting Table as a guide
only. In most cases, opening the product’s housing will invalidate its warranty, unless there is a
written indication on the contrary.

Technical Information
LED Disclaimer
LED Life
ILUMINARC® rates LED lifetime based on lumen depreciation of 70% of the original
output, with data provided by the manufacturer of the LED. Data from the
manufacturer of the LED are not independently verified or measured by
ILUMINARC®. When the product is operating in optimal environmental conditions,
the LED lifetime is rated to be 50,000 to 70,000 hours by the LED manufacturer.
LED Binning
LED manufacturers sort LEDs into “bins”, based on variances in color, output
intensity and the frequency at which the semiconductor operates. ILUMINARC®
strives to hold its LED manufacturers to the highest standards of binning to optimize
consistency in output from product to product. However, the availability of a single bin
cannot be guaranteed. With that in mind, ILUMINARC® has developed a rigorous
control system to seek the best achievable consistency in color and output.
Color Rendering Index (CRI)
CRI is an industry standard method to compare properties of different types of light
sources. There are known limitations and inconsistencies related to CRI. Results may
vary depending on the environmental factors involved. For this reason, the US
Department of Energy (DOE) states that CRI should be considered as one point of
reference among others in evaluating white LED products and systems.
The following is an excerpt of recommendations from the DOE:
1. Identify the visual tasks to be performed under the light source. If color fidelity
under different light sources is critically important (for example, in a space where
color or fabric comparisons are made under both daylight and electric lighting),
CRI values may be a useful metric for rating LED products.
2. CRI may be compared only for light sources of equal CCT. This applies to all
light sources, not only to LEDs. Also, differences in CRI values of less than five
points are not significant, e.g., light sources with 80 and 84 CRI are essentially the
same.
3. If color appearance is more important than color fidelity, do not exclude white
light LEDs solely on the basis of relatively low CRI values. Some LED products
with CRIs as low as 25 still produce visually pleasing white light.
4. Evaluate LED systems in person and, if possible, on-site when color fidelity or
color appearance are important issues.
